Marché's decomposition conjecture for Kauffman bracket skein modules
Let be a closed oriented -manifold, and let denote its Kauffman bracket skein module over . Marché's decomposition conjecture. There exists an integer and finitely generated -modules such that
where is an -torsion module for each integer . Marché proposed this as a structural description of skein modules of closed oriented -manifolds, but it has been disproved by counterexamples, including the skein module of the connected sum of two copies of and, in this paper, the connected sum of two copies of .
